Three Episode Impression

If there was one anime that had a great first episode this season, it’d be Devil’s Line. Taking a similar plot from the likes of Tokyo Ghoul or Ajin, we have a society in which Devils are integrating into alongside humans, but there is much discrimination against Devils and the dangers they pose to humans, even if it is legal. However, it seems that humans tend to be victims to Devils. The first episode started off rather thrilling with danger and the possibility of romance and then, the anime has started to become focused on romance, which took away from much of the suspenseful feeling I got at the beginning. I was hoping for something like Ajin where Devils are being persecuted and they would rise up against the human objectors, but it feels like Devils are just trying to suppress themselves so that they can just survive, not thrive. The latest episode’s ending presents to us something more, but who knows what will happen now that we’ve hit the 3rd episode mark. Will it continue to get more boring or will it get more exciting with the introduction of a murderer? Who knows, but I won’t be holding my breath with the way things have been going in the first 3 episodes.
